The crypto markets may look calm on the surface, but this weekend saw three major shocks: XRP had just 1.16% of its entire market cap locked inside ETFs, a SHIB mega-whale pulled nearly 2 trillion tokens straight off Coinbase Prime, and Vitalik Buterin casually posted what could be the blueprint for the next stablecoin revolution.
